Left wing.....Right wing?

If a bird, plane or political party doesn't have a left and a right wing, will it only be able to go around in circles?

The American eagle...

... our national symbol, sure does have both.

Though once endangered, it now soars proudly.

Here's hoping it never again is endangered, even figurativly!

Did you see the program on the bald eagle?

There are areas where the eagles are fighting over territory. One place in Alaska has so many that it's illegal to feed them.

My daughter talked about the thrill of seeing them when she lived in Alaska.

I'm not sure if they were endangered in AK as they were in the lower 48.

I do know that bears and moose are having a harder time of it there.

While visiting Oregon, we went to
May 8, 2006 2:19PM PDT
Wildlife Images on a tour and they had several different eagles that were too injured to be released on display, along with other animals either too injured to be released, or in recooperation.

Interesting tour, and interesting stories there. It's nice that some of the animals that are bought in that have to be kept and not re-released are used for display and education rather than trapping healthy ones as has been done in the past.

Of course, this is predominately a treat and rehab for injured wildlife, most that is bought in there is never on display because they don't want them too socialized with humans.
